Hexagon sets benchmark for mine safety with world-first system integration

The release features numerous enhancements expanding upon the existing capabilities of OAS, and the integration with CAS 10 enables automatic capture and display of predicted collision event videos, giving safety personnel a real-time window into critical events and operator performance.

A successful field deployment of OAS 7.5 at Whitehaven Coal’s operations in Australia demonstrated the robustness and efficiency of the system. The trial spanned an entire fleet and ran for more than a cumulative 10 000 operating hours. The integration worked with exceptional processing efficiency – averaging just 5.8 seconds for event videos to be remotely available for review – all with minimal network impact due to advancements in edge-based video data handling.

Whitehaven Coal called the trial “a significant step forward in operational safety and data-driven learning”, adding in a statement:

“Whitehaven has concluded a successful trial that integrated Hexagon’s OAS and CAS technologies, providing a step forward in vehicle interaction and collision awareness learnings. This successful trial was achieved through genuine collaboration, innovation, and a shared drive to make mining operations safer.”

Hexagon’s Mining division Executive Vice-President, Dave Goddard, heralded the marking of a proud milestone:

“OAS 7.5 reaffirms Hexagon’s commitment to delivering industry-leading safety solutions that support customers in achieving their zero-harm goals. We continue to collaborate with partners and mining leaders globally to refine these technologies and set new standards for operational excellence.”
